Due to some health issues I am currently bed resting a lot, so I have decided to take full advantage of the situation to learn something new: software engineering. I've started with taking Harvard's online course "Introduction to Computer Science" and one hour in I am already having some pretty interesting ideas…

So I haven't yet told you how the Halloween trip to Bulgaria went, and we're already more than one week in November. But iiiiit's finally heeeere, the weekend when I don't have that much to do and actually have the time to post something on the blog again, so let's do it, let's catch up. By the way, if you…

Why is it so hard for me to write a book? I mean.. writing this, and every other blog post, just jumps from my mind, onto the keyboard and into the screen in just a couple of minutes. I know exactly the type of books I want to write. The style I mean. I loved the Bridget Jones diaries, I am a fanatic for Agatha Christie's book…

J K Rowling's plans - just because I needed a picture and someone else might find this interesting to see Okay, so this is one of my complicated thoughts but I am trying to write it down, just because I am sure I'll find it interesting in the future when I'll read it again. You know how when writers and other kin…

When I was little I simply found it funny how my father couldn't tell the colour of his shirts and how my mother had to guess what clothes he was asking for. Then, as I grew, it became more and more intriguing - how could he drive when he can't see the green or red lights? Can he see my mother's red hair? What does the w…

I think I got this images from an article on Bored Panda that presented illustrations for people with mental health problems. It kind of shocked me how some of the things I try to do, like maximising the potential of every day (and of every hour, if possible) might be a red flag.  I joke about having anxiety all the ti…

When to go and where to stay in Barcelona (better than hotels) The best place to stay in Barcelona is near Placa de Catalunya, as you are in the center of EVERYTHING touristic, and you have a direct connection to the Barcelona airports , and the Barcelona Tourist Buses, making your Barcelona experience very pleasant. A great w…

Visiting our family this Easter in Romania we realised we were quite close to the Serbian border, so we've prepared a plan to go visit our south - west neighbours. Apparently you don't need a passport to enter Serbia, even though they are currently not part of the European Union, so having your identity card with you is e…

11, 111 and so on, were always something like lucky charm numbers for me and a sign I was in the right place at the right time. Soon I will be turning 33, an age I kind of look forward to. It happens I'm in a real good moment in my life, with great jobs and daily social relationships I enjoy, taking better care of my health t…

I might have found the recipe for happiness. The heart-filling roof-exploding happiness. And it isn't that hard to cook, though getting the ingredients might not be that easy. 1. First you need your tension to be low. (Hm, I think I finally figured out why some people meditate.) Lowering your tension is like buttering up t…

In postarea trecuta ziceam ca ii am pe lista de obiective de vizitat in Londra si pe cei de la Cereal Killer Cafe. M-am intalnit insa cu o astfel de cafenea chiar azi in Romania. Puteti incerca experienta in centrul Bucurestiului, la Piata Amzei, strada Christian Tell nr 1-3, unde s-a deschis de curand Cereal Crunch Cafe . …

Dupa prima excursie in Londra, orasul acesta a urcat in top 3 care mi-au placut cel mai putin, din toate cele pe care le vizitasem pana atunci. Asa de putin mi-a placut prima oara. Dar uite ca viata a hotarat ca aici sa mi se mute si prietenii si business-ul. Si daca acum merg tot anul pe acolo, am inceput sa fac eforturi sa imi …
